Reginar of Lower Lorraine

Reginar, Duke of Lorraine (850-915) was Duke of Lower Lorraine from 910 to 915, succeeding Gebhard of Lorraine and preceding Gilbert of Lorraine.

Biography
Reginar was the son of Count Giselbert of Brabant, born to the House of Reginar; he was the grandson of Lothaire II of Lotharingia. Under his father, he took part in an 870 campaign against Vikings in Walcheren, led an army of the Duchy of Hainaut against Rollo's army, and served as regent of West Francia while Charles the Bald campaigned in Italy in 877. Reginar ruled the lay abbey of Echternacht after 897, and ruled Stablo and Malmedy from 900 to 902; he became powerful enough to fight King Zwentibold of Lotharingia in 898. In August 900, Zwentibold was slain by Reginar's army, and Reginar became the Duke of Lower Lorraine after Gebhard of Lorraine's death in battle with the Magyars in 910. He died in 915, and his son Gilbert of Lorraine succeeded him.
